Mercenaries and Adventurers

Compared with Kiel's keen sense after knight training, as Mao Mao living in the mountains and forests, their perception is even more acute, especially in this wild environment at this time.

Before Keir and the seven furs entered the woods, the fur on the left whined, indicating that it had found something in that direction.

Keir raised his spirits and concentrated on jumping from one trunk of a big tree to the back of another trunk, then moved quickly and covered by the trunk, and rushed towards the place where there were people.

"What noise?"

A person squatting on a tree heard the sound of jumping and trampling in the woods beside him, and immediately turned around to look intently at the source of the sound, and at the same time, he did not forget to make a sound to remind his companions in the tree next to him.

But at this time, Keir was no more than ten meters away from these two people, which was already very close for him. Kiel no longer jumped forward, directly with the shield in front of him, and rushed straight and quickly towards the direction of the two.

"Hey? Hey? What!"

"How would I know?"

The two monitoring bandits didn't know what was going on, but a black shadow passed through the moonlight-dappled forest floor, and in the blink of an eye rushed to the bottom of a big tree where a certain bandit was squatting.

Kiel kicked his feet, and the whole person jumped up as if stepping on a spring. Without taking out the sword, the shield just hit the person directly, knocking him into the air and falling to the bottom of the tree. up.

After bumping into someone, Kiel flexibly turned his body in a few moments, and immediately turned his shield towards another place where the sound was made before, to resist possible fierce arrow strikes.

But no, no attack came.

Kiel was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't think much about it. He stomped his feet on the thick branches under his feet, and he flew over the treetops like an ape.

In the same way, he also knocked this person off the tree with a heavy shield.

Boom!

He himself fell to the ground, but with both feet on the ground, unlike the two people he knocked off the treetops just now, both of them fell heavily to the ground.

If it weren't for the thick fallen leaves on the ground, a normal person would be seriously injured if he fell from a height of several meters.

As soon as he turned around, Kiel pulled out the long sword wrapped in white light, followed the Mao Maos who had been late, and surrounded and controlled the two guys who had fallen to the ground.

The two subdued young bandits were still unconvinced, and were about to breathe a sigh of relief and draw out their self-defense daggers to fight. Kiel swung his sword directly, and cut off one of the men's wrists.

"Ah? Ah!! Ah—my hand! Hand!"

The bandit didn't realize anything at first, and only after the right hand holding the dagger flew up and fell to the ground did he yell in pain. The other bandit immediately threw the short knife of the same type on the ground consciously, but Mao Mao next to him took it away as if he had found a treasure.

Kiel kicked the kneeling and wailing guy in the mouth, and immediately he kicked the guy so that he couldn't scream.

Only then did Keel feel something was wrong.

Because these two guys, no matter how you look at it, didn't carry bows and arrows as weapons?

There is a diamond-shaped hand shield made of oak on each arm of the left hand, and it has some fighting power with a short knife, but it doesn't seem to be a group of people with the strong enemy he estimated before?

Keir, who had a premonition that he had found the wrong person, immediately realized the danger he was in at this time, and immediately ignored these two inexplicable people, and growled in his mouth: "Get down!"

Then he turned around and squatted down, his whole body sideways hiding behind the elf metal shield.

In the next moment, there was a loud impact sound from the upper edge of Kiel's shield. At the same time, Keel also vaguely felt that above his head, where his chest was originally, there was also an arrow that flew silently and quickly passed through.

But hit a blank.

"Damn it!"

It was only at this moment that Keir realized that these two guys who didn't know where they came from were used as bait by a truly dangerous elite hunter, luring him to make an early move and exposing himself.

"Hide behind the tree, Mao Mao, be careful of arrows! Fight back!"

Keel yelled, while squatting halfway, he jumped sideways, rolled and hid behind the tree trunk.

The Mao Maos howled one after another, and climbed up the tree in all directions. The next moment, there was a continuous sound of tail beating, and then they slapped the crossbow arrows given to them by Kiel, towards the general direction where the arrows flew just now. .

What's interesting is that the three crossbows that counterattacked at this time were all shot by the three close-combat Mao Mao with their tails, while the long-range Mao Mao, who were more proficient at flicking their tails and hitting projectiles, took advantage of the timing of their companions' counterattack. Quickly move towards the more flexible and free left and right sides, trying to surround the opponent from the left and right sides, or let the surrounded enemy take care of one thing and lose another, and clumsy left and right.

But the two unlucky bandits were so frightened that they crawled and hid under the roots of the nearest big tree. At the same time, they piled dead branches and leaves on the ground to try to hide themselves.

Not to mention, this seemingly silly behavior during the day is still very useful in the woods under the moonlight at night.

If the other party is just like them, they are just ordinary people.

As soon as Kiel hid behind a tree trunk, he leaned out tentatively, and the next moment, he dodged back. But just like that, a small piece of the hard cowhide shoulder armor on his right shoulder was taken away by a sharp arrow.

Kiel gave a wry smile, let alone hard cowhide armor for such powerful arrows, even if he put on metal armor, it would make no difference if he was shot at a slightly weaker place.

The strength of the opponent's arrow is astonishing, and it is very weird. If it is not that the flight is silent, he can only dodge it with intuition, or it is amazingly powerful, with a scream piercing the air, and it is heavily nailed to the trunk of the big tree. .

One arrow, hit by this special arrow, Kiel understood that he was finished.

But this is not the time to surrender, the battle has just begun.

Sure enough, as Kiel waited for the opportunity, Mao Mao, who had outflanked the past left and right, had reached a suitable attack position. Although the number and specific positions of the enemies were not clear, the general direction had been grasped.

The Mao Maos of the Son of the Forest, with speed and dexterity beyond the hunter's expectation, surrounded the hunter faintly in a semicircle.

Courage Momo sent a signal that only they could understand with a deep purr, although as soon as it made a sound, arrows shot straight at it with astonishing momentum.

But Courageous Maomao was prepared to dodge in advance, and when he retracted his tail, the whole Maomao went straight up from the original place to the sky in an unreasonable manner, avoiding the direction where the arrow was pointing downwards to preview the attack.

It turned out that Courage Maomao curled its tail on the branch above its head in advance. As soon as it made a sound, its tail curled up vigorously, quickly pulling its entire Maomao up, avoiding the flight path of the arrows that were designed to attack low beasts and monsters.

With Courage Mao Mao's deep howl, the other Mao Mao who heard the order launched attacks one after another, especially the other three long-range Mao Mao, with their experience and higher skills, they roughly mastered the attack after the enemy attacked one after another. the enemy's position.

The enemy didn't just stay still. The elite hunter even used a few ropes tied to tree branches secretly prepared in advance to attack Kiel and the others while swinging in the air.

Because the position of each shot is different, and when the body swings with the rope as a pendulum, even the height of the shot is different.

Coupled with the obstruction of observation at night and the confusing equipment on the hunter, it is almost impossible to grasp the exact location of the hunter.

Attacking like this actually requires the shooter to have very high technical requirements, because his body is constantly moving, and at the same time, he must ensure that he does not fall to the ground, and his shooting must be very accurate. If it is not for the elite of the hunting **** Hunters, they enjoy the blessing ability, have full night vision ability, it is almost impossible to achieve such a combat performance.

But this hunter also mastered this technique through hard training.

After the three long-range Mao Mao estimated the enemy's position at this moment, relying on their long-standing tacit understanding, they flicked their tails and launched attacks one by one.

Snapped!

A crossbow arrow was hit with all its strength, and it flew past the hunter's head and face dangerously.

But the hunter, who has hunted countless wild beasts and monsters, is young but extremely experienced, and his breathing has not changed a bit. The next moment, he turned upside down and put his feet on another rope, swinging towards Mao Mao who was fighting with him. Shoot an arrow.

This arrow is not the metal armor-piercing heavy arrow that went straight to deal with armored enemies before, but a spiritual arrow that incorporates the spirit of the poisonous snake to deal with such flexible beasts and monsters.

hiss—whoosh—

This strange arrow with a metal fang shape at the front end made a hissing sound as soon as it was shot, twisting left and right in the air and quickly flew towards the target.

The soul of the poisonous snake in the arrow is already hungry and thirsty. It has to shoot the enemy's body and bite the soul of the enemy, so that the anxious soul of the poisonous snake can feel better.

"Woo!"

Mao Mao, who was the first to fight back, let out a wail. It felt that a catastrophe was imminent, but it had no choice.

At the same moment, the second long-range Maomao also launched a counterattack as usual, and the crossbow arrows it fired also followed the source of the hissing arrows, and shot straight away.

Unlike the straight crossbow, the sinister tracking arrow with the spirit of the poisonous snake does not fly very fast, especially the soul that controls the arrow likes to twist and turn in the air, increasing the flight distance for no reason.

Therefore, the second long-range Maomao's crossbow arrow was one step closer to the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the young hunter, who was watching the crossbow arrows coming, would directly and abnormally take the initiative to meet the crossbow arrows with his chest when it was difficult to dodge in mid-air.

What surprised the Mao Maos happened, when the crossbow arrows hit the enemy, a cluster of red light burst out from the enemy's chest, and the crossbow arrows that could have seriously injured the enemy flew out.

"Wooooo!!"

Courageous Mao Mao was furious, it immediately changed its battle plan with its companions, no longer looking for a better opportunity, but at the same time as the third long-range Mao Mao counterattacked, Courage Mao Mao also flicked his own crossbow arrow.

Not one, but two?

But at this time, the first long-range Mao Mao who counterattacked could only shrink back in despair and flicked its tail in mid-air, hoping that its tail could catch a certain branch, so as to temporarily change its own body's trajectory and avoid twisting left and right The flying tracking arrows.

But at this moment, the ground shook violently, and then Kiel slammed into that direction heavily following the hissing sound in the air.

The insidious tracking arrow hurriedly tried to dodge, but within a limited time, it could not completely avoid Kiel's tall body. The two metal fangs on the arrow still hit Kiel's thigh, and then twisted left and right, trying to get inside.

Rolling on the ground, Kiel grabbed the strange arrow that pierced through the hard leather armor of his thigh, and then directly broke it with his right hand.

When the cold and greasy arrow broke into two pieces, there was a desperate hiss.

This made the other Tracking Arrow Rabbit and Dead Fox Sorrow that Kiel had obtained before became more honest.

The long-range Mao Mao, who was the first to counterattack, landed softly on the dead leaves in the forest. It stretched its shrunken body, touched its body in doubt, and wondered why it was not injured.

But at this moment, Keir didn't care about explaining that he had saved this Mao Mao's life just now. After forcibly breaking off the strange arrow, he directly burst out the life energy on his body with all his strength, and rushed forward with a big stride.

At this time, the third long-range Mao Mao and Brave Mao Mao had roughly grasped the enemy's position and the trajectory of moving between the branches with the rope.

They hit the crossbow bolts from two different directions on the left and right, and quickly flew towards the enemy in midair.

But the young hunter saw everything clearly, he spat secretly with disdain, completely ignoring the futile attack, his left leg was entangled in the rope, his right leg propped up on the tree trunk behind him, and his whole body was He stopped trying to sway, but stepped on the big tree, and after having a good point of force, he directly drew a special arrow from the quiver behind him.

This is a special magic arrow that every well-known elite hunter only has one, and each hunter has a different one, and the magic arrow is made entirely by the monsters and monsters that the hunters hunt.

This kind of arrow is generally divided into three grades. The lowest grade is a special arrow made of special materials from the body of powerful monsters and monsters, with special abilities of some monsters and monsters.

Because the monsters acquired by hunters are different from Warcraft, so their power and functions are also different. Some are not as powerful as armor-piercing heavy arrows, while others are far more powerful than the former. Some have outlandish abilities, while others are downright dangerous.

This is already very powerful, but it is only the lowest level magic arrow made by the church priests for elite hunters.

The next-level intermediate magic arrow is similar to the tracking arrow. It needs to be infused with a powerful soul on the basis of the low-level magic arrow. Generally speaking, they are all monsters and Warcraft, and they use their body materials to make arrows, and then infuse their souls at the same time.

Most of these magic arrows can unleash the most powerful special moves of monsters and monsters in one blow, and they often have the special qualification to end a battle.

What's interesting is that most of the elite hunters use this magic arrow to give the final blow to the monster that is about to be defeated in the process of hunting. Anyway, after killing monsters and monsters, a new magic arrow can be produced, and it can also avoid the enemy's final life-threatening attack and avoid the fatal danger to the hunter.

The highest level of magic arrows is based on the first two, and finally the priests of the church who made the magic arrows collectively cast magic to bless the powerful power of the God of Hunting on the already powerful magic arrows. among.

Magic arrows of this level are very rare, and only well-known hunters can obtain the permission of the church and gods to obtain the qualification to make and use this kind of magic arrow.

In some widely circulated legends of heroes, this most powerful magic arrow is often the ultimate means for those heroes to fight back in desperation and defeat powerful enemies.

Some well-known deeds in recent years, there is the [Arrow of Depriving Light] used by the justice knight Tresper in the great holy war for the gods to fight for faith. I heard that once the arrow is shot, the entire battlefield cannot be seen for half a month Bright, all those who walk into the area covered by the power of arrows can only fight desperately in an environment where they can't see their fingers.

Another time, in the "counter-insurgency" war on the southern border of the empire decades ago, a certain imperial general shot an [Arrow of the Underworld Passage] prepared in advance. In front of the free army of undead, he forcibly opened a passage to the underworld.

The army of hundreds of thousands of undead finally fell apart, and their souls were forcibly sucked into the deep underworld.

This move made the undead army that the Magic Society worked so hard to organize disappear, and had to talk about a truce with the equally exhausted imperial army.

-

Of course, having said that, the magic arrow of this young hunter certainly doesn't have those astonishing powers, and he hasn't participated in the hunting action of hunting any monsters yet. This magic arrow that he treasured was just the lowest level magic arrow made from the body material of a monster.

Not only is the magic arrow of the lowest level, but the production material is not from Warcraft, but from monsters. It is the most basic and common type of magic arrow.

But this does not mean that its power is not enough, on the contrary, it is too easy for this magic arrow made of people-eating flowers to kill an enemy solo.

The man-eating flower is a common monster plant in the swamp area of ​​the central province of the kingdom. It likes to **** the blood of animals that pass by it.

When the flower is small, it is no different from a mosquito bite. Even because the fangs of the flower have blood-activating ingredients, it is very effective for the elderly to deal with blood vessel blockage diseases.

But if you accidentally let this monster grow up, the several-meter-high flowers will crawl like worms in the swamp, hunting all kinds of ignorant beasts attracted by its fragrance, as well as rowing boats who are unlucky enough to meet them fishermen.

After the monster is defeated and made into a magic arrow, the overall color is red and green, and the arrow is light. The arrow tail feathers are a pair of emerald green leaves that can be adjusted and swayed at any time, and the arrow shaft is the flower stem of a man-eating flower, which is densely covered with small barbed fangs. At the top is an arrow, but it is a beautiful little flower bone.

It looks beautiful like a work of art, but once the flower of the arrow shoots out and hits the enemy's body, the flower bud will bite the enemy's body tightly, and use an extremely powerful suction to **** out all the blood of the enemy through the arrow shaft.

Eventually it is sprayed out through the hole in the nock.

After the young hunter defeated the man-eating flower, he asked his superior priest to make two magic arrows. He used the first one to defeat a forest storm bear, the man-eating bear the size of several people, and finally the dry arrow. The stupid guy thought that a sharp human arrow was not dangerous, but was carelessly shot in the back by a young man climbing a tree.

The blood of the forest storm bear dyed the entire grassland red.

This made the young hunter very confident in his magic arrow.

He believed that the young knight who was colluding with Ability God not far away would also die of bloodshed later.
